When is the next meteor shower? The Perseid peaks Friday morning, but meteors can be seen in this LaPorte County timelapse video.
A timelapse video shows the beauty of the Perseid meteor shower in LaPorte County, Indiana.It's expected to peak Friday morning, ABC7 Chicago meteorologist Larry Mowry said, but meteors can be visible for several days and even over a week on either side of Aug. 12.The streaks of light are not stars, but debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle. The tiny particles of dust and sand hit the atmosphere and create the pretty streaks of light.
The best place to view the meteor shower is away from city lights in as dark of a place as possible. The full moon will hamper viewing this year, Mowry said.
